Start #1: Gifts 976...

976. A friend and her husband finding a new, economical place to call home for awhile as they continue to save and live their plan, so inspiring and so happy for them!

977. Wrapping mom's gift ON her birthday:)

978. Starting the day with a morning happy birthday serenade to mom and hearing her smile and laugh through the phone.

979. Tissue paper yellow, white, and red polka dots with red curly ribbon.

980. Another box of brother's belongs packed up from the garage and ready to mail tomorrow with mom's gift.  Progress!

981. Arriving home before 5pm for the first time in weeks!  I felt like I was given the afternoon off but really didn't.  Gave myself the gift of leaving on time at 4pm.

982. Sitting together to tackle the bills and budget tonight. 

983. Taking the time to call to sort out incorrect charges and ending up with a credit on our next bill.  Yahoo!

984. Getting to catch up with a friend tonight by phone and hearing that she and her girls are settling into their first place of their own, gives me such peace and happiness in my heart and for them.

985. Finding one of Ben's Bells yesterday and checking out his website today that is devoted to promoting kindness, a beautiful thing!  www.bensbells.org

986. My lunch taking me less than 5 minutes to get ready tonight, no lunch needed for Andy, and the girls have pizza day at school - such a welcome break in the middle of the week!

987. Molly's expression of joy at finding a tennis ball in the garage tonight: ball rolled back and forth under each side of her head as she moved it from side to side between her paws, then in her mouth, between her paws again almost as a cat would paw a mouse, tail wagging fast and furiously all the while.
